If McCain Doesn't Want to Talk Fannie and Freddie, Why Is He Running?

NRO ^

[hecht]

Let Palin do it!!!!

[woodb01]

If it were me, I’d make a HUGE deal out of it in the LAST DEBATE! Call that the “October Surprise!” and let the cards fall where they will!

[dinoparty]

I really disagree with this column. Ayers and Rezko and Wright will win this election. The economy stuff is too complicated for most voters.

Democrats Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Economic Crisis

MORE WARNINGS TO DEMS who actually BLOCKED REPUBLICAN ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE MESS IN 2004 AND 2006

EVEN BEFORE THE HOUSING MARKET TANKED, MCCAIN SPONSORED A BILL TO TRY TO FIX FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC. DEMOCRATS CONTROLLED CONGRESS AND KILLED IT!

Americans everywhere had better quickly come to terms with the fact that the Democrats and their media propaganda machines are anti-American terrorist sympathizers who want America destroyed.  They have so completely deceived the public with their Goebbles-style media propaganda machine that misguided “useful idiots” are attacking Republicans the same way that the brown shirts attacked the jews. 

THERE IS A TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT ON DEMOCRAT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES!

THE BARAK OBAMA - DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE SCANDAL!

The Story the Democrat Media Propaganda Machine is hiding! The story that EVERYONE IN AMERICA should know!

SEND THESE LINKS TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA!
SEND THESE LINKS TO EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA!

If you actually take the time to do the research you will quickly learn that the Democrats want to “tax” oil and gas companies, and push their “green agenda” as a means to control energy.  By controlling energy they can then control the means of production.  Or put in plain English they can bring America FULLY into Communism.  The shrieks for health care reform are related to regulating the medical industry to FORCE them into supporting abortion.  The Democrats are nothing but fascists, they do NOT believe in Democracy or they wouldn't routinely take such unpopular stances against the public!

THE MAJOR MEDIA IS NOTHING BUT THE DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA ARM.  EXCEPT FOR FOX NEWS THEY WILL NEVER REPORT THIS.  THEY ARE ACTIVELY HIDING IT AND COVERING IT UP!  GET THE WORD OUT!  SEND THIS INFORMATION TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN THE COUNTRY, EVERYTHING THEY THINK THEY KNOW ABOUT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IS A BIG LIE!  A BIG LIE SPONSORED BY THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA PROPAGANDA MACHINE!

I couldn't agree more. Fannie/Freddie is a bombshell that should destroy DNC chances this year. There is still time, but it was best to strike while the iron was hot. People are still angry about it, they need to get after it and drop that bomb and win the election.

I fired off some emails to RNC etc and I'm just hoping they are smart enough to take action. RNC has been lame for many years. RNC doesn't understand the need to run even a radio ad in the South. We're still fighting Dems down here and could use some support. People need a reminder of what conservatism is, and that the DNC is a socialist monster that cannot be trusted.

[jim macomber]

I certainly agree with the point about Fannie and Freddie but, in addition, maybe even more so, for crying out loud, the McCain campaign has got to talk about what happens to the Supreme Court after this election. Two openings probably, maybe more. I cannot accept that people want the Hillary Clintons, Ted Kennedys, Terry McCauliffes, etc. creating our national ethic for years to come. Except for nationa security, the other issues pale in comparison to this.

[TruthWillWin]

The economy stuff is too complicated for most voters.

BS. This is how simple it is;

Clinton wanted to get more poor and minorities into homes. He lowered the standards at Fannie/Freddie creating risky subprime loans to accomplish that goal. When Republicans tried to regulate Fannie/Freddie they were blocked by Dems. (show video with testimony of Barney, Shumer, Dodd, etc say there were no problems at Fannie/Freddie) Democrats not only made statements against fixing the problem, they voted against or blocked every piece of legislation to control the run-a-way subprime loan problem.

What about that is so difficult to understand?

[lt.america]

Right on. Let the RNC take on Fannie and Freddie as a topic because it benefits the party as a whole and McCain has a much better opening highlighting Obama’s nefarious connections. Also, if Obama brings up Keating in response (which many pundits say he will) McCain responds with Wright. I think McCain wins the character argument hands down.

[Boiling Pots]

It is beyond me why the McIdiot campaign hasn’t tried to use the meltdown to their benefit.

They better start now, or it will soon be too late.

[backhoe]

For what it's worth around here, I am in complete agreement.

They need to hammer this unmercifully.

[dogcaller]

McCain must be worried about alienating the black vote...

[bushinohio]

Absolutely right! The stupid RNC should be beating this drum loud and clear. Why are they so timid about touching this? Using the Democrats own words against them would ensure an Obama and Democratic defeat come November.

[lt.america]

“Clinton wanted to get more poor and minorities into homes. He lowered the standards at Fannie/Freddie creating risky subprime loans to accomplish that goal”

Even that is arguable because Clinton recently pointed out that he wanted to do a better job of regulating Fannie and Freddie and the Democrats in his own party blocked him. Then you also have 2 or so state of the union addresses when President Bush spoke of home ownership and what it will do when we have more homeowners in the country (wink and nod to Democrats and his compassionate conservatism).

Let the RNC fight this battle because the electorate does not know who to believe at this point and the more McCain brings this up the more time it distracts from true winners like Rezko/Ayers connections.

[gathersnomoss]

McCain is alienating my white @$$.

[dinoparty]

Nope. People will blame Bush for the economy. Period. Fair or not, its a fact. The best we can do is change the subject. Moreover, it completely misunderstands the undecided voters who will decide this election — patriotic, blue collar and other common sense people in Ohio, Penn, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, New Mexico, etc. They really have not heard much about Wright, Rezko and Ayers ... and they have not seen the emotional, devastating type of ads that can be run about these associations. There will be a groundswell against Obama if done correctly.

[TruthWillWin]

Post ll could be part of the reason. I think there was a racial element as a factor in preventing Republicans to get legislation passed. If they pushed to hard the Dems played the race card. It sure appears that way when watching the videos of testimony in 2003 regarding Bushes strong warning and request to get this under control.

[lt.america]

Not this S*** again. If you want to bash McCain go on DU and do it.

[pray4liberty]

The economy stuff is too complicated for most voters.

That may be true, but the Congressional corruption and guilt-by-association stuff is not.

Palin should attack Obama, McCain needs to attack the corrupt Congress.

[TruthWillWin]

I disagree. Three things will win this for McCain:

1. Economy. To win this battle it is a must to explain how this happened.

2. Energy independence. McCain has a much better plan than Obama, he needs to use this.

3. Obama's character.

Exactly, but start at 1977 and let’s not forget who’s taking money from whom: http://www.opensecrets.org/
